class conscious ruling class

[edwad]

I saw a thread on here a few days ago asking whether or not the ruling class understands their position of power and many of you said that there have been letters and things between politicians and people of similar positions that have made it clear that they are class conscious. for some reason I didnt stop in that thread and ask for some type of evidence (not that I believe otherwise, I just want to see those messages), so if anyone has a link to some evidence that the ruling class is class conscious, please share that with me. I want to print out the evidence and staple it to the forehead of my reagan-loving stepfather

Lenin says the best defenders of bourgeois class interest aren't actually the capitalists.



Opportunism is our principal enemy. Opportunism in the upper ranks of the working-class movement is bourgeois socialism, not proletarian socialism. It has been shown in practice that working-class activists who follow the opportunist trend are better defenders of the bourgeoisie than the bourgeois themselves. Without their leadership of the workers, the bourgeoisie could not remain in power.
